How to instantly start and stop acceleration?

ozboybrian

So i'm cramming to get this game done. Basically all the art is here so I have no excuses.

I'm recycling (Falling) actors and they move via acceleration.
How do I stop the acceleration and start it up again with buggy jittering?

Thanks in advance for the help!

P.S The forums login function still sucks Took me a long time to get on here.
Although, I notice it sometimes stays logged in now once you get in so that's kinda good.

Here's a recycling falling object, not quite sure if this what you meant . . . ?

I agree what you say about the forum login, it always takes a long time to log in, I just try a load of things like resetting my browser, quitting it and opening it up a few times, deleting all the cookies, jumping between a couple of different browsers and so on, you can usually get it working after 10 minutes or so, although I'm never sure what it was I did that allowed me to log in as the fault seems random.

P.S It doesn't stay logged in for me, all I have to do is move between pages or view another post and that's often enough to log me out.

Hey man,

I didn't get a chance to look at Socks demo - buts here's one way to do it.

You can have your acceleration behavior - no prob.
When you want to stop accelerating (just standing still) change a Boolean to true and then ok your acceleration in a rule:

When StopAcceleration is false - accelerate. This way, it will stop accelerating when the is true - change it back to false for it to continue.

Now, how to make it stop right away:
Create a rule in your actor :
Wen game.StopAcceleration is true:
Timer: for 0.2 seconds
Constrain attribute self.motion.linear velocity X and Y to 0.

This should stop it right away and continue when you reset that Boolean to false.

Hope this is what our looking for.
